10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

1.5 Million Muslims Gather on Mt. Arafat for Hajj

More than a 1.5 million Muslims were gathering at Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia on Saturday for the central ritual of the annual hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.

Amid tight security, masses of believers made their way toward the place where the Prophet Mohammad is said to have delivered his final sermon some 14 centuries ago.

For the pilgrims, standing on Mount Arafat and praying for Allah's forgiveness is the high point of the annual hajj, because it represents the Day of Judgment.

Saudi forces have increased security during the pilgrimage to try to thwart any terrorist act and ensure the safety of the huge crowds. Stampedes and large fires have resulted in hundreds of deaths in recent years.

As part of an ongoing crackdown on alleged terrorist cells in the area, Saudi officials arrested seven suspected Islamic militants and seized a large cache of weapons during two separate raids in Riyadh on Friday.

 

Who goes to paradise? The worshipper who saved all his life to take the Hajj, or the terrorist who kills him at the Hajj  because he is too moderate a Moslem? The important fact of theology is it makes absolute statements about religion that have a single application. Both men can't go to paradise. One must be rejected because of sin otherwise sin and forgiveness of sin becomes meaningless. Islam is in crises, and the militants are setting the agenda. Islamic theology is moving in support of the militants, and hate for the Jews and Jew suporters is the measuring standard. Moslem Nationalism is being replaced with militant Islamic theology. Sin has gone from verbal hate to any hint of moderation. Islamic Nationalism is now incorporating this theology into their law making. The Palestinian Authority has already put a legal death sentence on any Moslem who sells land to the Jews. The Jews have been effectively purged from all the Islamic nations, and any Moslem who might indicate compassion for a Jew knows they are signing their own death certificate should they be exposed. Saudi Arabia has a law that no Jew is allowed on Saudi soil. Moderation pertaining to the Jews is sin of the worst sort in this new theology now permeating Islam.

The God of the Bible has a totally different measurement for sin. The conflict between Islam, and the God of the Bible is in full play. The Holy Land is the focal point. Islam feels obligated to force the world not to sin. They challenge the world to follow their lead. Hitler and the Nazis were the last to try to force this theology on the world. The Holocaust is a testimonial to their success. Islamic theology is following where the Nazis left off, and wants the world to follow them.

The God of the Bible has a different theology. Dispensational change is how God is going to deal with this latest challenge to the Bible. This time everything is in place for the coming Kingdom. For the first time since shortly after the Church age began, the Jews are back in the Holy Land! This more then any other factor points Bible students to the nearness of the Kingdom. We are witnessing the end of Biblical Christianity, and the return of Biblical Judaism. This time Biblical Judaism, when it comes, will look back to the Messiah, and forward to His immanent return!

 

Isa 53:9-10

9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

244 Muslim Pilgrims Die in Hajj Stampede

244 Muslim Pilgrims Killed in Stampede During Stoning Ritual at Annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia
The Associated Press
 

MINA, Saudi Arabia Feb. 1 — A stampede during a stoning ritual at the annual Muslim pilgrimage Sunday killed 244 worshippers and injured hundreds more, Saudi Hajj Minister Iyad Madani said.

The stampede occurred during the devil-stoning ritual, the most animated part of the annual pilgrimage.

Many pilgrims frantically throw rocks, shout insults or hurl their shoes at pillars representing the devil acts that are supposed to demonstrate their deep disdain. Clerics frown upon such actions, saying they are un-Islamic.

Last year, 14 pilgrims were trampled to death during the ritual and 35 died in a 2001 stampede. In 1998, 180 pilgrims died there.

 

Oh how the Satanic inspired gods of men victimize their willing followers. I have seen old woman in Mexico crawl up stone steps with shredded bloody knees to worship the virgin Mary. We have all seen the Hindus poke their bodies with long needles in attempts to please their god. There is no end to this self inflicted pain, and death demanded by these Satanic gods. Islam is in chaos as different factions tell their followers to murder each other for Allah. The Palestinians living in Baghdad were singled out for Moslem attack and murder this past week. A Moslem mayor in Afghanistan was murdered along with his three sons by other Moslem terrorists. Only Satan finds joy in human chaos. Only Satan wants all of God's creation to fail. Beware of gods that want self flagellation as a means of giving them honor, or a means of righting wrongs. These are the gods of men, and not the God of the Bible. Every Easter I'm sickened by those who are physically crucified to honor a false Christ. It is sickening to see what perverted men do in twisting the Bible to conform to their lies. It is sickening to read the garbage books that are promoted as greater revelation then the Bible.

Islam is celebrating the feast of sacrifice. The faithful willingly follow their false god by supporting the theology of sacrificing the more fanatical for a so called religious cause. The pain inflicted on the victims, and the rejoicing over such pain is pure Satanic. These religions of men must end. It is the real God of the Bible who will be the final victor. All others must submit, or be judged for their sin. There is only one single sacrifice that the God of the Bible condoned, and accepted as valid for sin. Never, either before, or after Calvary did the God of the Bible demand human sacrifice. Abraham might be pointed out as the single exception, but the God of the Bible provided a ram to stand in for Isaac. God loved Abraham, and could not let him do what He was going to allow happen to His own Son at Calvary. The God of the Bible loves His creatures. It is Satan who loves foolish sacrifice for any cause, and any reason. It is foolish men who follow his lead. Two hundred and forty four foolish followers just went into judgment. They will find their sacrifice was the sacrifice of fools when compared to Calvary. They followed the father of lies rather then the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!

 

Rev 11:4-6
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

*LATEST NEWS*- PENDING PULLOUT

 

Israeli PM Ariel Sharon on Monday has told Ha’aretz that he has given the order for the IDF to plan the evacuation of seventeen Gaza Strip settlements. According to the report that Sharon said a deal would have to be reached with the 7500 Jews living in the area, but he is working on the assumption “that in the future there won't be Jews in the Gaza Strip."

 

"It is my intention to carry out an evacuation - sorry, a relocation - of settlements that cause us problems and of places that we will not hold onto anyway in a final settlement, like the Gaza settlements," Sharon told the paper. He was commenting on his plan for a unilateral “disengagement” from the Palestinian population, believed to include the removal of isolated settlement communities behind defensible temporary borders in the absence of a final status deal with the Palestinian Authority.

PM Sharon Drops The Bomb: Plans To Expel The Jews Of Gaza

"I have given an order to plan for the evacuation of 17 settlements in the Gaza Strip." So said Prime Minister Ariel Sharon today in an interview with Haaretz. Gush Katif residents say they'll act to topple the Prime Minister.
 

 

Why must the Jews always step aside for the gentile world? Make no mistake that Ariel Sharon's intention is influenced by the gentiles, and not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! The answer is because these are the times of the gentiles. The destruction of the First Jewish Temple by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was the event that brought the revelation from God that gave the times of the gentiles a starting point, and also an ending point. God gave Nebuchadnezzar a secret dream which only the Biblical Jewish prophet Daniel could, not only repeat, but interpret.

Today, we approach the end of the times of the gentiles. The stone made without hands is about to crush the toes of iron mixed with clay. The entire image Nebuchadnezzar saw crumbles into dust.

We await for the rapture of the truly born again out of the great whore identified as Apostate Christianity. The very next prophetic event after the rapture is the Great Tribulation the end of which is Armageddon, and the official end of the times of the gentiles. Armageddon is the transition day when the times of the gentiles ends, and the Kingdom age begins. That is the day which is fast approaching. The Jews back in the Holy Land is the greatest sign that dispensational change is in process. Soon, it will not be the Jews who must step aside, but the gentiles.

I don't know if Sharon will be successful in implementing his intensions on the Jews, and the Holy Land? I do know he is wrong. I do know the day is coming when the gentile influence over planet earth will come to an end. In that day the Jewish Kingdom will thrive in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. Ezekiel's Temple is coming, and gentile resistance will be intense. A new leadership will soon be manifested in Jerusalem. Two Jewish prophets are predicted in the Bible to minister at Jerusalem. They will not be intimidated, or influenced by the gentiles! I think they will have the power to build the last Jewish Temple during the times of the gentiles that will go on into the Kingdom age!

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Likud MKs Threaten To Vote Out Sharon
17:00 Feb 04, '04 / 12 Shevat 5764

Likud MKs Edelstein and Erdan are collecting signatures on a sharp letter to Prime Minister Sharon in which they threaten to bring down his government. Arutz-7's Haggai Seri-Levy read the letter aloud on Arutz-7 only a half-hour after it began to be disseminated:

"We, MKs in the Likud Knesset faction, request of you not to make unilateral decisions to evacuate the legal settlements in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. We followed you in the elections when this issue was not on the agenda, and we ask that before a decision is made, a debate is held in the party institutions. We express deep concern about the very possibility that the left-wing parties would join the government in order to implement this plan. We wish to hereby make it clear in advance that it will be very difficult for us to support this plan of yours if it is not discussed first in the party institutions. In the event that for the purpose of implementing this plan, you will make changes in the government and add the Labor Party in order to support the plan, we will not be able to support these appointments."

Seri-Levy adds that though they don't say so in the letter, the signatories threaten to vote no-confidence in Sharon as well, if it comes to that. "So far, only four MKs - Edelstein, Erdan, Kara and Yatom - are signed on the letter," he said, "but it's only been a half-hour. So let's wait and see." As of an hour and a half later, six more MKs had signed; MK David Levy said he would not sign "because its tone is too moderate."

Within the Likud, 21 of the 40 MKs are said to be against Sharon's withdrawal plan, including Ruby Rivlin, Naomi Blumental, David Levy, and Leah Ness, as well as Ministers Shalom, HaNegbi, Katz, Landau and Sheetrit. Four are undecided, including Ministers Netanyahu and Naveh and MKs Saar and Avraham. The plan thus does not currently appear to have good chances of passing even a Cabinet vote.

MK Yechiel Chazan, the Likud's Yesha representative, has begun contacts to try to start a split within the party. He is planning to hold a gathering of supporters very soon, and is not hiding his intentions to break up the party if Sharon continues to go through with his plan.

The Yesha Council [Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza] continues to call on the right-wing parties in the government - the National Religious Party and the National Union - to quit the coalition even before Prime Minister Sharon departs for the U.S. and his meeting with President Bush. "Quitting after Sharon submits his plan to Bush," said Council leaders Bentzy Lieberman and Tzviki Bar-Chai, "will be too late, as the plan will have already gotten underway." They call upon the public to realize that Sharon is not merely playing a media game, "but is truly serious about his plans and they are on their way to execution."
 

 

The liberal Labor Party in Israel is 100% for implementing this foolish gentile road map. It has only been the conservative Likud Party that has stood in their way. Now the formerly conservative Sharon has folded to the pressure of both the gentiles and the liberals by proposing to displace many of the 250,000 Jewish settlers now living in Yesha. The backlash is strong, but when the votes are counted the settlers lose. They are not popular in either Party because they refuse to get entangled in politics. These are independent fundamental Jews who put the Bible before the dictates of men. They have few friends on Jerusalem's capital hill. They lean more to conservatism, but it is the conservative Sharon who is now selling them out. Their reluctance to get involved with politics has proved a wise move. They don't depend on the politicians, but on the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They are still blind to their Messiah, but I'm convinced their redemption only awaits the rapture of born again believers out from the great whore Apostate Christianity.

Sharon is in deep trouble from another front. His illegal adventures with a wealthy land owner has put his entire family in jeopardy. The investigation has just started, but this may prove the end of the Sharon leadership of the Likud. What is sad is there is no one in the wings who also would not sell out the settlers for political advantage. The settlers lose no matter who follows Sharon into office. These independent fundamental Jewish settlers can only continue trusting in the impossible. So far, that trust has proven that the choice they made has been the right choice.

4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

Knesset passes first reading of Arutz 7 bill

By Zvi Zrahiya, Haaretz Correspondent

The Knesset approved Wednesday the first reading of a government-sponsored bill that would allow right-wing pirate radio station Arutz 7 to compete for a broadcasting license. The first reading passed by 47 votes to 17.

Opposition lawmakers said the bill was designed to appease the settler-run station, which was shut down several months ago. Managers and employees of the station were subsequently convicted of operating a radio station without a license. They were handed sentences ranging from three to six months.

Communications Minister Ehud Olmert, who initiated the bill, said an assumption that the legislation was aimed at one specific group was unfounded. According to Olmert, the law was formulated by top experts from his department.

If passed, the new law will allow the communications ministry to award broadcast licenses to radio stations that appeal primarily to specific sectors of society or those that have a unique characteristic, such as an alternative language or culture.

The law would also grant to the government powers to decide which targeted stations are licensed, in accordance with demographic requirements.

What is going on in Israel is the the government bureaucracy is run mostly by the liberals. It is much like America was before fox and conservative radio. The liberals do not want their bias control over the radio threatened. They do not want any voice of criticism allowed. It is a weak argument to say if we let the conservatives have a voice then we open the door to a neo-Nazi radio station? I just don't think that will happen. There has to be an audience first, and Arutz 7 has that audience that puts the knees of the liberals a shaking.

I would agree that Arutz is a voice for the independent fundamental Jewish settler movement, but it is too big a leap the say it is run by the Jewish settlers. They cover a lot of conservative issues that go beyond just the settlers. I'm glad the tide has changed, and Arutz is getting justice rather then prejudicial treatment from the Knesset.

The liberal media is not the place to go if you want to learn what God is doing in the world today. That is not a newsworthy story, or it is information that can only be released with a liberal spin. I have great hopes that as God brings more and more pressure on the Holy Land, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount that the truth will be reported. The establishment of Arutz 7 radio will go a long way to allowing the truth to be filtered out of competitive reporting rather then the one sided reporting now being offered to the Jews of the Holy Land.

 

Ezek 39:4
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Moscow Metro Explosion Caused By Suicide Bomber -Interfax

MOSCOW (AP)--The explosion that hit the Moscow metro Friday was carried out by a suicide bomber, the Interfax news agency reported, citing police sources.

Authorities are still investigating the explosion to see if it was an act of terrorism, said Kirill Mazurin, spokesman for Moscow police. He said the death toll could be as high as 30.

Earlier, the Emergency Situations Ministry said the explosion killed at least 22 people and wounded 30.

 

The same extreme type terrorism aimed at the Jewish people in Israel is menacing the Russian people also. The Chechnyan separatists are of the same animalistic mind set as the Palestinians. Their goal is to establish an Islamic Republic North of the Caucasus Mountains. It is from the North that the Ezekiel 38 &39 invasion of Israel is prompted. What happens North of the Caucasus Mountains should make every Bible reader wary.

We are witnessing brutality of the worst sort all associated with Islam, and as a direct challenge to the Bible. Islam has put the Koran above the Bible as the book to which they give their allegiance. Their brutality is justified, and their defiance of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is glorified. They are intent on making the writings of Mohammad higher then the revelatory writings of the Jewish prophets. This conflict is heading for a single solution in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount.

I suspect that once the mandate to build Ezekiel's Temple is given it will stir Islam into one final invasion of Israel. The Bible is very clear in Ezekiel 39 that this invasion ends in complete disaster for the invaders. God will end what the beasts of Islam start. The end is horrific with multitudes dead in the fields, and on the mountains of Israel. It will be the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who will manifest such wrath on these mindless animals who attack innocent civilians with such conscienceless hate. Their bodies will be fodder for the real beasts of the field, and fowls of the air. Islam has a beginning with the writings of Mohamed (the Koran), and an end in Ezekiel 39. Islam will join all the other great cultures before it that defied the Bible. It is bound for the dung heap of human history.

 

Ps 26:8-10

8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:

10 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

GAZA POLICE CHIEF ATTACKED IN LOCAL CLASH

 

Gunmen beat up the Palestinian police chief at police headquarters in Gaza City on Thursday, sparking a gun battle that wounded at least 13 people, Palestinian sources said.

 

Police said in a statement the incident was a failed bid to assassinate the police chief, Major General Ghazi al-Jabali, who escaped the gun battle unhurt. But Palestinians affiliated with the PSS denied this, saying he was only beaten severely. Other reports said he escaped uninjured.

 

Accounts differ as to what happened.

 

"A group of lawless individuals of the lowest level tried to assassinate the founder of the Palestinian national police, sent by some parties that do not want security and peace for the homeland," police said in a statement.

 

Sources said that the assailants were members of the PA Preventive Security Service in Gaza acting on behalf of Mohammed Dahlan, the former head of the service. Jabali is a personal appointee of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat.

 

Dahlan was frequently at odds with Arafat during his tenure as minister for security affairs under Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, and views Jabali as a rival. The Gaza PSS is currently headed by a close associate of Dahlan's and is still considered his power base.

 

Samir Mashharawi, a senior Fatah leader in Gaza, said "there was no assassination attempt. What happened was that four members of the Preventive Security Service who were on a cordial visit to Jabali were involved in a brawl that developed into a gun battle."

 

He said the police know the identities of the four assailants and that an investigation is under way to determine the reason for the shooting.

 

This is not the first time members of different Palestinian security services have clashed, nor is it the first time such clashes have involved associates of Dahlan facing off against associates of Arafat.

 

Jabali, who arrived with the PLO in 1994, is one of the most controversial figures in the PA security establishment. Last year Arafat fired him following allegations that he had abused his power to accumulate a fortune and was involved in a series of "moral" scandals. But Arafat reappointed him as commander.

MEDIA WAR

 

The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned recent violent attacks on Palestinian media outlets in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Armed gunmen entered the Ramallah-based Al-Quds Educational Television on Feb. 2, demanded a "tape," beat two staffers and fired at the station's equipment. Also this week, a newspaper in Gaza City was broken into and sabotaged and in January a Gaza correspondent for Al-Arabiyya was beaten. The attackers claimed that they were from Fatah and told him not to talk about the group again in his reports. Fatah denied responsibility for the incident. Al-Arabiyya was also targeted last fall.

 

I can't believe a sophisticated gentile world can't see what they are releasing on the Jewish people of Israel? I used to think phrases like "thugs and gangsters run the government" were extremist views going too far in describing the opposition, but I really think it is true of the Palestinians. It is self-inflicted because of their hate for the Jews. The Palestinian Islamic Arabs will only tolerate those of the most animalistic hate for Jews to represent them. The fruit of such hatred is that the character of those who possess such hate makes them treat their own kind with the same behavior. The Palestinian Arabs have sown to the wind, and are now reaping the whirlwind!

Now, the gentile world wants the Jewish People of Israel to be victimized with this whirlwind forever. The gentiles would decree a State made up of these wild animals to forever exist in the midst of the Holy Land. I can't help but think this is a slap in the face to the God of the Bible who has always said upon the whole planet this is the only place He has said would be His. Now, the gentiles show their contempt for the Biblical God by trying to permanently place the worst culture on planet earth into His Holy Land.

 

Josh 13:6

Media Confusion and Conflicting Headlines
16:17 Feb 08, '04 / 16 Shevat 5764
 

Some of the largest media outlets in Israel are tripping over themselves in their rush to report on an "imminent" evacuation of Gaza - so much so that today's front pages of the two leading papers, usually clones of each other, herald diametrically opposing scenarios.

Yediot Acharonot, Israel's largest paper, blares out, "Israel Will Not Destroy the Communities to be Evacuated," adding that Arab refugees will be able to live in the houses that remain. This is followed by a two-page spread of homes in Gush Katif with a large caption, "Gush Katif Before the Evacuation," and sub-headlined, "The luxurious villas and factories in the settlements won't be destroyed after the retreat."

Maariv, on the other hand, which also contains several references on its first three pages implying the certainty of a retreat, evacuation, and expulsion from Jewish Gaza, has a totally different headline: "We Will Destroy Every House and Greenhouse in the Withdrawal," it reads, quoting a source "close to Sharon."

Staffers in the Prime Minister's Bureau say that neither of the two reports have any basis.

It will be recalled that in 1982, after Israel withdrew from approximately a dozen communities in northern Sinai as well as the city of Yamit, under the supervision of then-Defense Minister Ariel Sharon, barely a building was left standing.

David Banjo, who has lived in N'vei Dekalim for 15 years, told Arutz-7 today that in truth, "neither of those headlines is correct. I invite everyone to come visit here and see that the true headlines are being made here, in our everyday lives. It's true that Sharon is capable of carrying out his plans, but notice that he has said several different things in the past few days: first a unilateral retreat, then a referendum, then he talks about going to new elections, etc. The reality of life in Gush Katif is that we are very strong, and we have gone through a lot - mortar shells every day, talk of uprooting for years, and more. We have overcome them, and we will overcome this as well."

 

It is sad that the conflict between these two cloned liberal rags should develop over whether the government will, or will not destroy the homes of the independent fundamental Jewish settlers of Yesha after they are ejected. It is almost joyful toying with these families who put all their hopes, and efforts to serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by being settlers. The liberal Jews display the same vindictiveness as the animalistic Palestinians. They can't wait to "rub it in" as they anticipate the first ejection of these settlers whom they hate for their conservative religious position. I can't imagine what is worse: the destruction of the home built with joyful expectations, or the home given to a potential terrorist to enjoy while he plans to kill Jewish civilians? This is a terrible prospect to be so gleefully speculated before the public.

Today, we live in a world of sin. The American public was confronted with this truth at the Super Bowl half time show. Whenever God manifests His Will there is conflict. Righteousness does not fit into the world's way of thinking. It is right for Jews to occupy and conquer Judah, Samaria, and Gaza during this miraculous third entrance into the Holy Land. The opposition is great, but the God of the Bible is greater. However, refusal to do what the LORD commands brings terrible consequences. In 1967 the LORD opened the good land for the Jews to occupy and conquer. It is now 37 years later, and the Land remains filled with the heathen Islamic Palestinian Arabs. The time is short, and the consequences grave. I only wonder how all this is going to end? I know God will win, but I wonder how much the sin of compromise will hinder the ultimate victory?

Report: Al-Qaida has obtained tactical nuclear explosives

By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service

Al-Qaida have possessed tactical nuclear weapons for about six years, the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper reported Sunday.

The Arabic daily reported that sources close to Al-Qaida said Osama bin Laden's group bought the nuclear weapons from Ukrainian scientists who were visiting Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 1998.

The report has not been confirmed.

However, the sources said Al-Qaida doesn't intend to use the weapons against American forces in Muslim countries, "due to the serious damage" it could cause. But that decision is subject to change, the sources said, if Al-Qaida "is dealt a serious blow that won't leave it any room to maneuver."

The possibility of detonating the nuclear devices on American soil was also raised in the report, although no details were given.

The sources were quoted as saying that Al-Qaida actvists have hidden the weapons - each of which is about the size of a suitcase - in "a safe place."

Kandahar was the stronghold of the Taliban, which kept Afghanistan under tight religious restrictions until the United States attacked it in retaliation for the September 2001 attacks.

In the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, serious concern arose in the West over the possibility that nuclear technology and weapons could spread to other groups, in part due to the difficult economic situation in the former communist lands. Several reports of the nuclear arsenal in the former Soviet Union in the 1990s indicated that a few dozen nuclear explosive devices had disappeared. One of the theories was that the devices disappeared in Ukraine, which claims that it handed over all its nuclear weapons to Russia.

 

This report is clearly identified as unconfirmed, but what is true is that several small nuclear tactical devices are missing, or at the least unaccounted. This world should be thankful the Biblical God is in absolute control, or such reports would drive us into hopeless depression. The probability of one of these animalistic terrorist groups getting a nuclear bomb is real. What is not probable, but certain is that they would use it with conscienceless vengeance on whoever they choose. The depravity of such groups is not new, but the horror they can release is unique to our generation.

Islam is thirsting for a victory, and the focus is more and more turning to little Israel. It seems to me that technology has finally brought the world to the brink of Armageddon. The nuclear age is now coming into the reach of the fanatics who have no fear of man or God. The fear of the LORD is a primary feature of the Bible that has little influence on these cultures of hate. They ignore the Bible replacing it with the Koran. Allah becomes a god for sexual perverts rewarding the most depraved behavior. There will be no hesitation when one of these fellows gets the opportunity to press the button. Sin filled mankind is on the brink of self destruction. Only the God of the Bible holds back the inevitable so that a few more may be saved. The time is short. The times of the gentiles is coming to an end. The Church age dispensation is about to end. The wrath of God is about to be manifested such as has never been administered toward any other generation. Grace and mercy ignored, or trivialized by this generation will be its downfall. Wrath will reestablish the fear of the LORD to the creature that refuses to go to the Bible for the solution to sin.

The fear of the Lord is the only way to overcome the fear of evil!

Jewish Gaza: Today and in History
17:57 Feb 10, '04 / 18 Shevat 5764

A victory over both terrorism and schemes to uproot the Jews of Gaza was celebrated in Kfar Darom today. Eliezer and Chana Bart held the brit - ritual circumcision - of their week-old son today, naming him Amichai [My Nation Lives] Yisrael. Chana is wheelchair-bound and paralyzed in the lower half of her body, following a terrorist shooting attack two years ago. Among her first concerns at the time was whether she would be able to bear more children. Doctors closely tracked her pregnancy, fearing that she would not be able to feel the onset of labor pangs. The family has seven other children, and the joy in Kfar Darom today was complete. Baby Amichai was born the day after Sharon's bombshell announcement of his plan to expel the nearly 8,000 Jews of Gaza from their homes.

Contrary to popular perception, Gaza has long been a Jewish area, and is in fact included in the Biblical Land of Israel; a dispute among traditional Jewish commentators exists only regarding the area west of El Arish in northern Sinai. It is mentioned as land that should have been conquered by Joshua; was home to Jews during the times of the Hasmoneans and the redaction of the Mishna; and its Jewish population was strong enough to withstand an attempt by Constantine in the 4th century to build a Christian church there. More recently, Jews lived there from 1885 until World War I, and a renewed Jewish community remained there until the Muslim pogroms of 1929. Kfar Darom was established there in 1946, lasting only until the War of Independence two years later, and in 1973, Netzer Hazani - the first of 17 Jewish communities that now exist in Gaza - was established.
 

 

The media spin is that the Gaza Strip is Arab territory, and the Jewish settlers in the Gaza are the troublemakers. The truth is Jewish heritage in the Gaza goes back to Biblical times, but since when has the media been interested in the truth? The God of the Bible is on record as saying the Gaza is the inheritance of the Tribe of Judah, but since when has the world cared about what the God of the Bible says?

The heathen remnant of this miraculous third Biblical entrance of the Jews into the Holy Land are also going to perish as all others did before Jewish sovereignty in the past. For three transgressions and for four the present Islamic Arab Palestinians have doomed themselves.

It may be a strange thing for me to write about the destruction of the heathen in the Holy Land when all the news is proclaiming their victory. It would seem I got it all wrong? The gentile road map is reported as if it is done, and Babylon the Great of antichrist fame is in chaos. It is certainly within my capabilities to get it all wrong, but the Bible has it right. The best I can do is speculate on whether the news of today is coming into compatibility with what Biblical prophecy says.

I know the heathen of Gaza will again suffer for three transgressions and for four. Today will not be soon enough from my perspective. God obviously dose not move according to my personal feelings. There is a time for longsuffering filled with mercy and grace, but there also is a time of judgment. God is clear that judgment is coming to planet earth. When it comes, it will center in the Holy Land, at Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount. That time is close at hand. I feel it in my bones!

 

Zech 14:4
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
KJV

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Earthquake Hits Israel
17:32 Feb 11, '04 / 19 Shevat 5764
 

An earthquake rocked most of Israel at 10:15 this morning, and was felt from the north to the northern Negev. One worker was lightly hurt when he fell off scaffolding, and only a handful of other minor injuries were reported. Cracks were reported to have formed in some buildings - including the Knesset, where the main session was postponed for two hours until after engineers checked the building.

The epicenter of the earthquake - first thought to be 4.5 on the Richter scale, but later reported as a moderately-heavy 5 - is thought to be in the northern Dead Sea. Popular weatherman Danny Roop captured the feelings of most Israelis when he said, "Actually, what does it matter whether it was 4 or 5? The main thing is that all of us really felt it quite strongly."

Two buildings in the Tel Aviv area were reported to have partially collapsed, but these reports were soon found to be based on false alarms. Phone systems in the Tel Aviv area did collapse for a short while, however, due to heavy usage immediately after the quake. In Ein Gedi, close to the Dead Sea shore, nothing more serious than falling objects was reported. The shaking of the earth was felt in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and even in Egypt.

Officials in the Education Ministry, after consultation with Seismological Institute personnel, decided shortly before 11 AM that, because of the fear of aftershocks, all pupils must be kept outside their school buildings. Regular studies resumed shortly after noon, however. Conflicting reports were heard as to whether aftershocks could be expected.

In Hevron, the students of Yeshivat Shavei Hevron did not immediately leave their building, as they thought at first that the shaking was the result of a terrorist bombing. When it was ascertained that it was in fact an earthquake, the students gathered outside the yeshiva and recited the traditional blessing of "Who Performs an Act of Creation," and then evacuated to the nearby Avraham Avinu neighborhood.

The US Geological Survey says that several thousand shocks with magnitudes of about 4.5 or greater occur each year around the world.

The last major calamitous earthquake in Israel occurred in July 1927. Centered in Jericho, it killed several hundred people and left thousands homeless. It was estimated at 6.2 on today's Richter scale, or some 40 times stronger than today's quake. The last major earthquake to affect Israel was in 1995; it was centered under the Red Sea, about 70 kilometers south of Eilat, and caused only very minor structural damage.

Experts have been warning for years that Israel is due for another major earthquake in the coming years or decades. Earthquake scholar Dr. Ron Avni of Be'er Sheva University told Arutz-7's Moshe Priel that the feared quake could reach 7 on the Richter scale - releasing well over 900 times more energy than today's shake. "It's true," Avni said, "that Israel started, a few years ago, to prepare for a quake, including plans to strengthen threatened buildings, but unfortunately the work has stopped."

The prophet Zechariah foretells a cataclysmic earthquake in the Land of Israel when the Messiah comes to the Mount of Olives outside Jerusalem. The mountain shall be split down the middle from east to west, forming an enormous valley to which people shall flee.
 

 

There are thousands of earthquakes around the world every year. It is not until the ground moves from under your feet that the fear of the LORD gets applied in a very personal way. There is something about terra firma moving that crushes all our feelings of security. There is no place to run when the earth is shaking. It may be wise to run out of a building, but there is no feeling of security while the street is still shaking under your feet.

There is purpose in everything God does. Earthquakes in the Holt Land should always awaken our attention. It is no coincidence that this earthquake should center near the Dead Sea where Sodom and Gomorrah once stood. The message is clear. God does judge evil, and that judgment is absolute.

There are Jews in Israel who are awake. They look to the Bible, and see God uses things like earthquakes to accomplish His promises. They know God promised them a Messiah, and are reminded of those promises when contemplating the purpose behind this latest earthquake.

The Jews have long been persecuted by Apostate Christianity. Jesus means hateful treatment to them because their exposior to most of the Christian Denominations has been nothing other then hate. The denominations promote the false doctrine of substitution theology where the Christians get all the future blessings specifically promised to the Jews. It is no wonder Jesus has a bad connotation to the Jews. It is going to be a great awakening when God opens Jewish eyes to the Biblical Christ rather then the Christ of the Christian Denominations. The Jews are going to find that a remnant of Christian fundamentalists have been hated by the denominations, and main stream Christianity as much as they have. It is the fundamentalists who have consistently stood up against the apostasy of the Roman Catholic Church. It is the fundamentalists who consistently opposed the false doctrine of the Charismatics. It is the fundamentalists who consistently warned against the lukewarm Evangelical movement that God has already said He will spew from His mouth.

Main stream Christianity has gone the wrong direction, and the Biblical Jesus is being wrongly presented to the world. Soon, the Jews will open their hearts to the Biblical Jesus. They will understand grace, and will know why absolute judgment must be administered before their Jewish Kingdom can come.

 

I just heard the crack in the Knesset Building was in the ceiling right above where Prime Minister Ariel Sharon sits. I only wonder if it was enough to awaken the fear of the Lord in this secular Jewish politician? I heard a second crack appeared above the doorway used by the Prime Minister when he exits the building.

It seems to me this is more then coincidence at a time when Sharon is selling out the independent fundamental Jewish settlers of Yesha!

Ex 18:21

21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:

Suha Arafat says Israeli prime minister behind reports of alleged bank transfers to her

Thursday February 12, 2004

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) The wife of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was behind reports of a probe by French prosecutors into alleged transfers totaling millions of dollars to bank accounts she holds, a newspaper reported Thursday.

The preliminary inquiry, opened by the Paris prosecutor's office in October, is looking into the alleged transfer of $11.4 million to Suha Arafat's accounts at the Arab Bank and at French bank BNP between July 2002 and September 2003, French judicial officials have said.

The probe was first reported by a weekly satirical newspaper, Le Canard Enchaine, on Wednesday.

In a phone interview with Suha Arafat from Paris, home to the Palestinian first lady, she told the Al-Hayat daily that Sharon was spreading ``the malevolent press leaks'' to cover up a bribery scandal that could force him out of office....

Arafat told Al-Hayat that the money she receives is sent to her and spent legally. In the published interview, she did not specify how much she has received nor did she reveal the amount under investigation.

``What's strange about the Palestinian president sending any amount of money to his family and his wife who cares for Palestinian interests abroad?'' Arafat said in the interview.

``All this money has come, and is coming, in a legal way and the way it's spent is legal,'' she added. ``My husband and I are ready to respond to any questioning regarding the source of this money and they way it was spent.''

French officials have stressed the investigation is only in its preliminary stages and that police are not involved. Nor has a full investigation been ordered, since the inquiry has not determined that the alleged funds came from illicit sources a necessity if prosecutors are to file any charges of money laundering, French officials have said.

The investigation originated from a Bank of France inspection of the Arab Bank. The Bank of France found that nearly $1.27 million was allegedly transferred monthly from Switzerland to Suha Arafat's accounts in Paris, French judicial officials have said.

The Bank of France alerted the watchdog Banking Commission, which in turn alerted the Paris prosecutor's office in September, according to those officials. They said that Tracfin, a government organization that collates information about money laundering, confirmed the Bank of France's suspicions about the alleged transfers.

 

1.2 million every month is a good figure to picture the next time you see the poverty of the Islamic Arab Palestinians. It is not ironic that Suha should say it is all the Jew's fault, and blame this revelation on the Jewish Prime Minister. Every time Palestinians get caught doing something wrong they always blame it on the Jews. The suicide bombers are blamed on the Jews, and the sorry media runs with the false story. What is sad is that the majority of Palestinians really believe it is all the fault of Israel. They really believe that should the earth be ethnically cleansed of all Jews it would solve all the major problems. They believe the world agrees with them by what the media reports.

Reality says the problem is greed, and as long as the Palestinians elect animalistic Jewish hate mongers, they will be victimized by this kind of excessive exploitation. Arafat and his cronies would be exploiting everyone gullible enough to follow whether the Jews are present or not. He is able to accomplish this by promoting hate as the greater criteria then ethics. The Palestinian people deserve exactly what they have.

The next time the news media talks about the victimization of the Palestinians think 1.2 million every month rather then the common story that it is the Jews.

Sharon is facing his own problems with greed. He does not have the majority of the Jews willing to wink at this kind of indirection. Greed may well do to Sharon what all the suicide bombers could not. It will be interesting to watch how truth is reacted to by these two cultures. In the end it will be the God of the Bible who makes the crucial judgment on all greed and indiscretion. It will be the judgment of God, and not men that will make the eternal fate of all men. At that judgment both Sharon and Arafat will stand as equals. There will be no respect of persons on that day. Only those written down in the book of life will be redeemed from such one sided standard. Only those clothed in the righteousness of the lamb will be exempt from the judgmental contrast of the individual compared to the absolutely pure and holy God of the Bible. In such a judgment both Arafat and Sharon are found lacking.

Secret EU Findings: European Donations To P.A. Were Used For Terrorism
